Experiences

Learning, engagement, and discovery are at the heart of the Moss Arts Center

Join us for exhibitions, performances, and many opportunities for deeper exploration and fun. We offer learning opportunities for all ages through workshops with visiting artists, activities in schools and local organizations, lectures and symposia, master classes, hands-on experiences, community celebrations, and more. The Institute for Creativity, Arts, and Technology also offers hands-on, minds-on learning events—with Maker fairs, guest talks, and research projects that turn the entire center into a hub for creativity!
